Jorge Sanchez is a gold medal winning member of the Team USA Paralympic Wheelchair Basketball Team. At eight years old, Jorge was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma, a bone cancer, and faced the tough decision of whether or not to amputate his leg.

In this episode, Jorge shares how he made his decision and how a chance encounter led him to wheelchair basketball, which gave him renewed reason to live.

Throughout the discussion, Jorge shares with listeners:

• How to find the courage to take risks;
• How knowing your "why"--or having a personal mission--can help you navigate and persevere in tough times;
• Why after winning gold in a 2020 Paralympic Games impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, he is more motivated than ever to win a roster spot for the 2024 Games; and
• How fans can best support Paralympic athletes and the misconceptions he wishes observers didn't possess.
